Strike King Series 3XD - 7/16oz 10+ Tennessee Shad

The Strike King Series 3XD in 7/16oz Tennessee Shad is a deep-diving crankbait built to reach and stay in the strike zone where big bass are hiding. The signature curved bill design dives to 10 feet or deeper—fast—making it ideal for prospecting deep structure, ledges, and submerged timber during tournament and recreational bass fishing. At 7/16oz, this lure casts well and delivers the aggressive search pattern anglers need to cover deep water efficiently.

What sets the 3XD apart is its geometry. The curved bill doesn't just look different; it allows the bait to achieve greater depth on the same cast compared to traditional crankbait shapes. That means you can fish deeper flats and channels without maxing out line capacity or using heavy tackle. The free-floating rattle chambers create that internal sound that triggers strikes even in murky or low-light conditions, and the ultra-sharp hooks are rigged to capitalize the moment a fish commits.

Tennessee Shad is a proven pattern across major bass fisheries—it mimics natural forage and produces year-round. Whether you're fishing a known deep-water spot or exploring new structure, the 3XD gives you the confidence that you're presenting a bait that dives where others can't and sounds like something worth eating.
